slIaa Murray SENT t0 Few Castle
Under $1,000 Bail.
Ur. j. F. Frantz, President of the Will
mington Dental Manufacturing Company
appeared before Squire Smith Thurs
day and charged Silas Murray, one of
the company's employees, with the larceny
Of valuable goods, the property of said
company.
Previously, however, Emmanuel Black,
colored, Junk dealer and rag picker of
No. IA New court, had been summoned
TO answer to the charge of having in his
possession certain property of the Dental
Company. Black stolidly refused to say
anything about the matter, when Squire
Smith ordered that he be held in 81 500.
Immediately Black made clean breast
OF facts which disclosed most remark
able story of systematic theft, implicat-
ing Silas Murray, colored, an old and
trusted employe of the Wilmington Dental
Manufacturing Company.
Murray has been for eight years in the
companp's service. His position was such
that goods of considerable value continu-
ally passed through his hands. Evidence
was adduced that indicted Murray as be-
ing directly implicated in methodical
larceny of the property, abstracting the
goods and then placing them in the hands
of parties in Philadelphia and elsewhere,
where they were disposed of for cash.
Recently the firm had occasion to pur-
chase quantity of platinum in Philadel-
phia, part of which was recognized az
having previously been in the company's
factory here. The matter was given into
the hands of Detectives Jones and Vande-
grift, resulting in the arrest Of Immanuei
Black.
Upon Blacks revelations Thursday 6
warrant was made out against Murray
who was arrested and sent TO New Castle
under 81 900 bail.
squire Smith reduced Blacks bail from
81 500 to $500.

Benjamin Swift was arrested last even
ing week at the instance Of s. Ford d Son,
No. 311 Shipley street, under the follow
ing circumstances; Swift engaged some
three weeks ago with the firm referred TO,
to sell goods on commission. He OBJ
tanned bill of $40 worth of goods. Ac-
cording to mutual arrangement he oon-
tinued to make returns at certain inter-
walls, obtaining meanwhile another
lot of goods, but, within a week or
less made no reports. Mr.. Ford saw him
several times and attempted, unsuccess-
fully to get returns. Yesterday Swift
sent satchel by messenger to Mr..
Ford with goods telling to say to Mr..
Ford that he (Swift) had gone to Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Ford then had Swift ar
rested. The complainant alleges that
Swift was hired man employed to sell
on commission. The defendant said he
purchased the goods at certain price
and therefore the case was one OF oom-
mon debt.
Harry Emmona, Esq, who defended
Swift stated to the court that he would
plead two points, and upon them ask
dismissal Of the case. First, the goods
were sold to this man on credit and
secondly that even admitting facts &c tes-
tilted to by prosecuting witness that the
sale was on commission, he would CON
tend that there exists no law by which
Swift can be held. II amounts simply tc
breach of contract. The case is moi
one OF larceny, or even embezslement
which latter applies only to officers of
corporation. The only remedy undel
our law is one for action for debt. Mr.
Emmons asked the court to dismiss th'
| case.
Judge Cumming in making his decision
/ said the case is civil one for debt
There is no law in this State whereby tn
man can be criminally held. He thel
| dismissed the case.

The office Of the Marshall Iron Com
pany at Newport was entered by burglars
between IL and O'Clock Friday morning
and about $15 in cash stolen. To obtain
possession of the money the burglar put
q heavy blast OF powder in the safe, which
upon being exploded entirely wrecked It.
About 2 O'Clock in the morning one of
the men working In mill left the building
TO procure some drinking water aud was
followed by his dog. The animal rushed
toward the office barking ferocionsly and
the man observed that one of the vim
dows in that building was stand
ing open. He went back into the
mill for an instant and while
hastily proceeding toward the office he
saw man leaving the building and going
In the direction of the bone-mill. Pursuit
was given but the fugitive, instead OF ex-
hausting his strength in the lead OF q
chase, turned and iEad o shot from re-
yolver at his pursuer. One or two others
Joined in the attempt to capture the bur
glar but as they approached him he
quickened his gait and when pursued
some distance further he turned and
again fired. As the men were without

became hazardous, the bullets singing in
unpleasantly near proximity to them
From the fact that the Office is but a
short distance from the mills and there
was big force Of men at work in the
latter during the entire night, the burglar
seems TO be deserving of very special
commendationn for daring The noise
of the mill. however, made Il possible for
the heavy blast to have been discharged
without attracting the notice OF the men
although it was heard by them.
During the night q man, apparently o
tramp, came in the nill TO spend The
night, custom among these nomads. In
stead OF seeking repose as did the oth' RS
he was very alert aud kept constant
| watch upon the men. II is now believed
| that the man WAS confederate of the
burglar. He disappeared soon after the
pursuit was begun for the despoiler of the
c0mpany's safe.

A VERDIoT FOR BRIST0R.


NYAcK, May 6.-The Rev. George Il. .Bristor
OF Spring Valley to-day was given verdict
of 500 and costs against Stephen ii. Burr
and other trustees Of the Spring Valley
Methodist Episcopal Church for eviction
from the parsonage In March 1886. The case
was very interesting one, and In 1t nice
point of law was involved. Mr.. Bristor and
his family were put out on q notice OF As
hours. The trustees of the Methodist church
argued through their counsel that the rela-
ton existing between them and the pastor
was that OF master and servant, and not Of
landlord aud tenant, and that when his SER
vices for them ceased he was no longer
entitled to remain upon their property.
Upon this belief the ejectment papers
Bristor. and at the expiration Of 48
hours he and his family and number Of
friends were put out 10 manner more
rapid than graceful. Subsequently DR.. Bris-
tor brought suit against the trustees OF the
Methodist church for $40, 900 damages and
the case was tried before Judge Barrett at
New City, when the jury disagreed. This
second trial came on yesterday, and the
case went to the jury last evening. A YER
dict was given at an early hour this morn
ing, the jury and Judge Cullen as well hold
ing TO the belief that the relation between
DR.. Bristor and the church go far as his use
of the parsonage was concerned was thai
of landlord and tenant, aud that he was en-
titled to the usual 80 days notice to vacatt
the premises. The new trial of DR.. Bristol
for his alleged criminal assault upon Idf
Downs will begin on Monday next before
Judge Cullen.

Jennie HambIin struck I'm the Side
by "a Pistol Bullet.

Jennie Hamblin Struck In the Side
by "A Pistol Bullet.
Yesterday night week about 7 O'Clock the
residents of Shipley street between Eighth
and Ninth were startled by pistol report.
IL was ascertained to proceed from the
basement of the back part of the Opera
Hotel, No. S21 Market street. As the
crowd gathered around, one of them dis
covered pistol lying in the street. 1t
appears that o number Of the hotel SER
wants were in the hotel kitchen at the
time referred to. The kitchen is situated
in the basement of the hotel opening out
on Shipley street. They were all talking
pleasantly together. A waiter boy named
William Ober and Jennie Hamblin q
chambermaid were of the number. II
seems the girls had commenced chatting
the lad when he exclaimed "H you girls
don't stop I'll shoot.n AT the Same
moment he pulled q pistol out of his
pocket saying '.I'm going to shoot" !" and
pointed it in the direction of the girls.
Almost instantaneously it went of, the
bullet striking Jennie Hamblin in the left
side.
Most fortunately it struck the metal
corset, then glanced of without doing
further harm than causing the girl to
faint away. She was Immediately car.
ried up stairs when it was ascertained
that no hurt whatever had been sustained
Meanwhile young ober, who had hardly
realized the terrible possibilities of the
incident, had sufficiently considered bis
surroundings to act on the idea of throw
ing the pistol out on the street, where Il
was afterwards found.
There is no suspicion whatever o.
maleyolence in the incident. There hai
always been the best of feelings between
all parties at the hotel. Young 0ber i
an innocent looking lad who holds
good character. His employers nor th'
injured girl have anything against hin
whatever. He continues at work in th'
hotel and is not looked upon as having
committed anything but what resulte'
from the sheerest accident. Up to tn
present the authorities have not moved ii
| the matter.
